ARMA II worth it?

I was planning on getting ARMA II Operation Arrowhead after playing the demo. I played Arma II when it was 1st released but it was messed up, crappy fps loads bugs a glitches. How does it play now its all patched up?

how tactical is it? and anyone want to fill me in on the game? I was aware of it but don't have alot of knwolege on it besides it beinga tactical shooter... more tactical then bfbc2? Tsuanthony

I might have been interested in this game. But I consider buying this game as buying starforce copy protection with a game attached. I would never buy another starforce game after experiencing what it did to my high end pc last time.

You're basically giving the rights to starforce copy protection to install and disable what ever drivers it wants in order to prevent you from copying this game.

That's some seriously insideous DRM involved and a complete deal breaker.

I might just leave it tbh. I have so many games off steam to play by the time i play them all CO with be on sale for £2.50.

It runs great now with all the awesome patches.

Operation Arrowhead runs even better.

What? This game doesn't have starforce as far as I know. And as of the 1.5 patch the game doesn't have any drm at all.

On Steam ARMA 2 has no DRM as far as I'm concerned. Can't say about elsewhere.

Fantastic game if you do co-op of have a group of buds who are into the military culture. I'm having a blast playing the campaign with my friend, but I would never touch it playing alone. I love everything about the game, but it's hard to recommend for somebody coming off CoD or Battlefield. I wouldn't call ARMA a tactical shooter-- more like combat simulator. It's not "technically" tactical like Ghost Recon or Rainbow Six, but you do need to be smart and use military tactics because it's like an open world sandbox.

But Warfare mode is still awesome. If you're going to play ARMA, play it for that.
